You don't need a new power supply, but you will need a 4 pin molex to SATA power cable adaptor. Currently there is a SATA power chain where the first is consumed by the top optical drive. The next one below has the right length for another optical drive, but my tower config has only the one. The third and final is consumed by the USM. This is the Universal Storage Module that allows a USM external drive (Seagate Backup Plus for example) to plug right in from the front (that huge indentation on the front of the tower). Otherwise, there is another lengthy power cable set that is separate and has single SATA power connection to the bottom hard drive. This cable group only has a 4 pin molex otherwise. There are nice drawers for two hard drives, so it just seems odd that this would have a 4 pin instead of another SATA that reaches. Actually, any 2.5" SATA drive will fit in that USM slot in front.

You are correct on your question. I don't use the power cable for my external hard drive

Is the power adapter necessary for this drive or will it run off he computer battery if needed?

Yes. I have connected multiple external hard drives to this hub. It is a powered hub and will power drives that are not externally powered themselves (Drives which have only a USB connector and no DC adapter input).

Sorry, I can't find that info in my booklet. Try going to the Seagate website.

No, it won't even power the hard drive, I tried it and didn't work, probably using the current adapter may work.

It should. The most I copied about 100GB at one time to my 1TB. I have connected it to a USB 3 - 10 port hub and directly to the PC . I have never needed to use the 5v power port. Hope this helps. Kenn

You should use the power adapter with 3.5" drives. You really don't need to with 2.5" drives

Yes it works. However, this item does not come with a DC in port and therefore it will not support high power consumption device such as 3.5" external HDD.

Ron....no, the hard drive is a plug-n-play, no external power source needed.

I haven't tested this personally, but considering the hard drive has AC power, it should not be an issue. I'm assuming this probably wouldn't work well or at all with a USB powered hard drive.

Yes, if you get a 5VDC power supply with the appropriate plug, it will allow you to supply the requisite power to the unit separate from the data connection. Some drives require more power than others, and some devices don't supply enough, as in your case, so this solves that problem.

O Pharoah. It may be answered best by contacting Rosewill, like I contacted Thermaltake to ask if it would work for my external Tt HDD enclosure. Its specs state: Input Volt Range: 100-240V (Worldwide Compliant) / Output Voltage: DC 12V 2A (1.5A Compatible). The connector needs to fit also, as some power adapters' connectors do not. The description for the product says it is for a Seagate device. It may be quite generic fitting many devices. You could try it. Moses.

It does not work with a Seagate 1.5TB thick portable drive, keeps disconnecting when read/write to it. When connecting a small drive like WD 1TB, 80% of the time will be fine, but it disconnects as well. No matter what power adapter you use! I even tried to use a powered USB hub. It can read and recognize external drives connecting to a USB hub, but it will disconnect from time to time with no apparent reason.

Your hard drive probably needs more power (current) than a single USB port can supply which is 5v @ 2A max

Ben, If you're talking about the Sabrent 3.5" SATA/IDE Hard Drive Enclosure / with Fan (I have 2 - work great), the output of the Power Supply is 12V DC at 200ma (Model No. SAW24-120-2000) !HTH,Chuck
